Braun Strowman could make his return at the Royal Rumble since The Monster Among Men hasn't been seen on WWE TV since he assaulted WWE official Adam Pearce and was suspended from the company. It was reported that Strowman was suffering from a knee injury and would need some time on the sidelines to properly heal.

The Monster Among Men hasn't been announced or even teased for a Royal Rumble return, which means that he could be a surprise entrant. If Strowman is part of the match then 2021 could be his year, if the likes of Goldberg and Brock Lesnar are not added to the match.

Strowman is just 14 eliminations away from breaking Kane's all-time record at the Royal Rumble, whilst 14 eliminations would also allow him to break Brock Lesnar's record that was set as part of last year's show (Strowman also has a record of 13 eliminations but this came at The Greatest Royal Rumble).

Strowman was once billed as WWE's next monster and the only way for him to prove this is to stand out at this weekend's Royal Rumble and finally be handed the WrestleMania push that he deserves.
